UK scientists have revealed the optimum amount of time you should lean forward while playing FIFA to help you win a match.
The researchers analysed player seating positions and the impact they had on a game of FIFA 21, the latest instalment in the hugely successful video game series.
On average, winning players spent four minutes and 41 seconds – 35.5 per cent of a 12-minute match – leaning forward.
Interestingly, if an opponent s team featured Cristiano Ronaldo, a lean was often triggered every time he received the ball.
The experts say leaning forward has a positive impact on sharpening players instincts – however, spending too much time leaning can lead to fatigue, which can cost you the game.
